Urging Him to Get a Divorce (Aveline and Xavier) novel Chapter 639

Chapter 639

“Mom, about those paintings… aren’t we going to get them back?”

Courtney’s face darkened. “You think I don’t want to?”

“I’m actually afraid that if we force the issue, Aveline will go to court and demand to split Bethany’s inheritance with Jacob.”

“Let’s just wait. Once your brother is born, Jacob will be at ease, and I’ll get him to transfer more assets to me. Then, if Aveline tries to fight for the inheritance, we’ll have nothing to fear.”

“Until his son is born, Jacob will still be holding back and won’t transfer the assets to me.”

Josephine fell silent at how ruthless her mother was being toward her father.

Courtney glanced at her, seeming to read her mind. “Josie,” she said, “do you cruel to your father?”

Josephine said flatly, “You’re just looking out for yourself. There’s nothing wrong with that.‘

Courtney shook her head. “That’s not it. I’m not just thinking of myself, I’m also thinking of my children.”

“If Jacob can’t provide a good life for me and my children, I won’t stay by his side.”

“Josie, you can’t be sentimental. Look at what happened to Bethany. She worked her fingers to the bone for Jacob, and in the end, he was keeping another woman. When Bethany was in labor, he wasn’t even by her side. He was with me.”

“You and your brother are my flesh and blood. Jacob isn’t. And on top of that, he’s incompetent and heartless.”

“Believe me, even if I give him a son, and even if I help his company get through this, the moment he has money again, don’t you think he’ll go find some other young, pretty woman?”

Josephine nodded. “He probably would.”

“Exactly. I know what kind of man he is better than anyone. After all, if he wasn’t a scumbag, I wouldn’t have been able to seduce him in the first place.”

Josephine looked at her mother. “Mom, you don’t seem bothered by it. You even said all that to

Aveline just now.”

Courtney looked at Josephine with a heavy gaze. “Do you think I was putting you down?”

Josephine bit her lip and said nothing.

“Josie, if you want to succeed, you can’t afford to have any shame. I was the other woman, that’s a fact. You were born from that, also a fact. We have to face this reality to succeed. If I had cared about my reputation, Josie, you would never have been born. You wouldn’t even be here.”

“You knew he and Aveline were a couple long before you got close to Xavier.”

Josephine nodded, but she was still annoyed. Other people could look down on her, but how could her own mother?

But she knew her mother was right. If she wanted to land a rich and powerful man like Xavier, she couldn’t afford to have any shame.

She said resentfully, “Too bad I failed. Xavier just played me.”

Courtney patted Josephine’s hand, “I was too naive back then, encouraging you to get close to Xavier. A man like him, from a family like that, is too arrogant and wouldn’t have thought much of you.”

They despised her for being the daughter of the other woman.

“But, it’s okay. Besides Xavier, there are other men. I think Gerald is a pretty good choice, and if you marry him, it’ll be your first marriage.”

Josephine frowned slightly. “Gerald is really good to me, but I don’t like him.”

Courtney sighed, “You can’t have it all in this world.”

“Look at Aveline. She married Xavier, but Xavier doesn’t love her.”

Josephine looked at her mother, “But Xavier said he loves Aveline.”

Courtney laughed out loud, “You actually believe that nonsense?”

“He’s just saying that to lock her down.”

“I refuse to believe Aveline is luckier than her mother who died young and could actually land such a good man.”

But Josephine was still bitter. Even if Xavier didn’t truly love Aveline, just being Mrs. Beltran was impressive and respectable.

Courtney comforted Josephine, “It’s okay if you don’t like Gerald. You’re young, beautiful, and talented. You’ll find someone good.”

Josephine asked with a dark expression, “Mom, are we just going to let Xavier and Aveline get away with this?”

Courtney’s face darkened too. “Of course not. Someone is already secretly going after Xavier, and as for Aveline, we’ll definitely cooperate with that person to make sure she doesn’t get to be Mrs.

Beltran.”
